Stock, till, delivery and online orders, under control.
Leave the spreadsheets behind. Stock that always balances, a till that reconciles itself, your own delivery with your riders, online orders paid by card, invoices and VAT up to date, shifts and reservations. One back office for the whole restaurant.

Swiss QR-bill
AvailableScan the invoice's QR and leave it ready to pay.
Accounting
AvailableJournal entries in the Swiss SME chart of accounts, as a CSV for your accountant.
A restaurant runs on a dozen spreadsheets that never agree with each other. The Octane is the one place they finally do.
It works the way a Swiss restaurant does
The rules a real establishment runs on are built in, not bolted on for a market it was never designed for.
QR-bill
Scan the Swiss QR-bill and the amount, IBAN and reference fill themselves in when you record the invoice.
L-GAV
The shift planner warns about rest periods and agreement limits while you build the week, before you publish it.
Payroll and AHV
The month's pay per person from the hours you already have, with the AHV number on file and the CSV your fiduciary asks for.
Swiss francs and your language
Cash counted by CHF denomination, Swiss VAT rates built in, and the whole app in German, French, Italian and English.
What it is, and what it stays out of
We kept the scope tight on purpose. The back office is the whole job, and only that.
The complete back office
Inventory, cash, invoices, shifts, reservations and guests, in one place, passing data between them.
Deterministic, on your server
Reorder, forecasting and anomalies are computed by rules on your own data. No data leaves for an AI service.
Yours to leave
Export your inventory, invoices and guest book whenever you want. Your data is never held hostage.
Not generic software
Built for restaurants and bars, not adapted from another industry. A venue's daily reality comes as standard.
Not your accountant
VAT tracking is informational, configurable rates and a clean export for your bookkeeper, not a tax engine.
Not a commission on your guests
Reservations charge a flat fee, never a per-cover or per-booking cut. Your guests are yours.
